  • Your Happiness List

    Your Happiness List

    The purpose of Your Happiness List is so that you have a list of activities and things that make you happy. As we get busy and overwhelmed with life, we often neglect the things that make us happy. This exercise is designed so that you have a quick reference list of things that you enjoy doing. In your diary or journal, create a list of things and activities that make you happy when you do them.

    This will help with your mental health as well by increasing your:

    • Endorphins that help with reducing stress and blocking pain.
    • Dopamine, which helps with your feeling rewarded, motivation, and pleasure
    • Serotonin, which helps regulate your mood and long-term well-being
    • Oxytocin, which helps build social bonds, trust and love.

    Items on your happiness list could be:

    • Self-care – giving yourself a facial, getting your nails done, giving yourself a mani/pedi
    • Activities – reading a book, watching a show or movie, going for a walk in nature, hugging your pet, working on your car, building something, painting something…
    • Crafts: embroidery, painting, knitting, crocheting, decorating cakes, other crafts that you enjoy
    • Anything else that makes you happy.

    Uses of your happiness list:

    • Daily to bring a little bit of happiness into your life.
    • As a reward for accomplishing something on your Crossroads Journey
    • An emotional boost  when you are feeling down
    • After you have done some work on your sabotages and roadblocks as a pick-me-up.

    Revisit your Happiness List regularly and keep adding to it. Over time, you will have a variety of activities and things that make you happy. It will once again become natural to regularly do activities that make you happy, and you will become happier for it.

    If you are feeling overwhelmed and at a crossroads in life, book in for a Goal Investigation Session or purchase a WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support Pack.

    ✨ Movement, Mindset, and Motivation — In Your Inbox

    How Email Coaching Can Support the Life You’re Designing

    📝 Real Talk
    Let’s be honest — staying motivated isn’t easy.
    Whether you’re rebuilding after burnout, navigating grief, or juggling all the hats, sometimes the hardest part is just keeping yourself going.

    Here’s the truth:
    💡 Motivation will let you down.
    That’s not a flaw — it’s just life.

    The key?
    Build habits that hold you — especially on the days you don’t feel like showing up.
    Habits rooted in clarity, support, and kindness — not pressure.

    🌿 Maybe You’re:

    • Overworked
    • Burned out
    • Holding it all together for everyone else
    • Recovering from trauma or grief

    Whatever your story, you deserve support.
    Pause.
    Take a deep breath.
    Let’s set you up to take care of you.
